I've really just about had it with this brush. It has this terrible shudder, stutter, LOUD. beyond annoying vibration, separate from the normal operation and it makes brushing a miserable experience. It started with the first use. I returned it to Wm for a replacement. I returned THAT one to Sonicaire itself. It has been a year now, and it has only gotten worse. I've tried changing the brushes repeatedly to no avail. Meanwhile, my girlfriend's inexpensive ($39?) Sonicaire just hums along gently as can be. I got my first Sonicaire in '92. It lasted 8 years. My second in 2000 also lasted eight years. My third from '08 was still working when I replaced it last Dec. 3rd, (14 years!) but the battery was going and its brushes were history. But oh, how I miss it...

After using a Phillips Sonicare for the pass 12 years I wasn't sure that a new model would be better then what I already owned so when I was offered to try the ProtectiveClean 6100 from Sonicare for free I didn't have big expectations that they could have improved a tooth brush I already loved, but they DID! The ProtectiveClean 6100 from Sonicare has so many great features that my old Sonicare didn't. It has three separate settings when you brush - clean,whitening and gum care. These are easily programmed so you can switch back and forth depending on your needs. I was skeptical about the claims that it would whiten my teeth better than a manual toothbrush but I do believe that after a week of brushing my teeth with the ProtectiveClean 6100 by Sonicare they are visible whiter. I love the “gum care” setting as well. It also has an easy to monitor sensor to determine when to switch the brush head which I find helpful. There are a few other aspects from my old Sonicare that I think make this new model great. I love the way the brush head attaches to the toothbrush with a post rather than screwing on the brush head. I find this much more hygienic and easy to rinse off after use. The new style of the charging base is also smaller and easier to clean. Overall I believe this product is superior to other electronic toothbrushes and any manual toothbrushes on the market. I highly recommend the ProtectiveClean 6100 from Sonicare.

I recieved a free product sample of the sonicare protectiveClean 6100 in exchange for my honest review and after using for a couple weeks I am very happy with its proformance. It has a gentile start feature which is especially nice if you have never used this type of toothbrush, the tingle of the sonic cleaning can be too much for some people at first. The built in 2 minute timer and pressure sensor are two included features which are nice to have, when you hear the beep you just move to the next area until you have brushed all your teeth. The only down side that I can think of is that there is only one brush head included, it would have been nice if it came with two heads but that said I will continue to use this brush, It leaves my teeth feeling smooth and clean and my gums are in better shape than before.

FEATURES: I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. Two things I liked immediately about this toothbrush were a higher vibration frequency and smaller brush head design than my previous electronic toothbrush (a competitor`s). I find it easier to position the brush where I want it. RESULTS: I have a small chip on a tooth where I normally get some coffee staining and right away I saw that this new toothbrush has definitely caused the staining to decrease! TECHNOLOGY: I noticed a mark at the base of where the head plugs onto the toothbrush handle and was surprised to find that the toothbrush can detect which brush head is attached. This will allow the toothbrush to monitor use and let us know when it is time to replace it. Since my partner brushes more frequently than I, this feature will make it easy to know when it is time for a new brush head. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and plan to continue using it.

I received this product in exchange for writing a review and was perhaps a little more excited than I should have been, because I was actually unhappy with the toothbrush I was using at the time and had been searching for a new one. And then this fell into my lap! Overall, I was truly pleased with the toothbrush. My teeth are stubbornly on the yellow side and have remained so despite several attempts to whiten them but after using this toothbrush once, I could swear they looked cleaner. Not to say, I was ready for a white teeth commercial, but after two weeks, I really can see a noticeable difference. Modes: the toothbrush has three modes: clean, white, and gum care. The real difference here is just length the brush stays on but I like that it's timed, because it encourages me to brush longer, which I hate in general. Supposedly you're supposed to use a different brush for these modes but I only have one. I imagine it might be frustrating to change brushes for different modes but only used whitening. It does has three speeds or strengths which is a nice option if you want more clean or are having some sensitivity and that was easy to use. Brush Shape: The brush on this on somewhat oval, like a traditional toothbrush and while I like this in general and feel like it fits in my mouth, I did struggle to make it fit well on the backs on my lower front teeth. You can turn the brush, but it just doesn't fit perfectly, at least in my mouth, which is on the small size. So, on the pro side, I like the different cleaning options and for me, it really did make a difference in the look and feel of my teeth. My only real cons are it doesn't fit perfectly in my mouth and for some reason when I brush, in the front, if I don't keep my mouth closed, toothpaste splatter flies out, even when I only use a small amount which is a little annoying. For me though, the effectiveness makes up for having to wipe down my mirror every now and then!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample for a Philips 6100 protective clean electric toothbrush in exchange for my opinion. I loved this toothbrush. Overall it was easy to use and having the three brushing modes is ideal for me because It gave me the option to brush for a longer or shorter time. I felt my overall gum health was better after only a week of use. My favorite feature is the easy start feature which over time increases the power to help your teeth and gums get used to using a electric toothbrush. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an easy to use high quality electric toothbrush.

This was my first time using a Sonicare Toothbrush and it felt amazing. You can definitely feel the deep clean from the bristles. Now you have 3 different setting for the type of care you are seeking. If you have sensitive teeth the vibration may not be suitable for you. Love the base for charging and its very easy to use. I did receive this as a free sample but would highly recommend it

Sleek, easy to program and use electric toothbrush. After using, my mouth feels really clean!

performs better than my last electric brush. I like the small head design

Bad quality on this model , Paint is off within two weeks.
